A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.

Religion of peace: Five Christian gunmen stormed a Muslim school in France early today, killing at least six people and wounding at least two others before fleeing. French authorities refused to classify the attack as a hate crime.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Five unidentified gunmen stormed the gates of a Christian school in a popular mountain resort Monday, killing at least six people and wounding two others before escaping.

The attack occurred at the Murree Christian School in Murree Hills, about 35 miles north of Islamabad in the Himalayan foothills. The school was founded in 1956 to train the children of missionaries here and in neighboring countries.

I'll be waiting patiently for the outcry from American Muslim organizations for this attack on Christians -- but I won't be holding my breath.
